Pros

Employees will have exposure to international opportunities, either through secondment or working with staff from other countries. IT department is well established that employees will be able to learn about standards, best practices as well as how a bank run. Usually IT professionals such as developers, BAs and PMs will be working on projects from all sizes ranging from under a million to over 20 millions.

Cons

As the organization is large, the opportunities for promotion within one country bank or Software Department is limited as staff then to stay in a position for a long time. Also, due to the complex working environment, there are a lot of procedures to follow for making even a small change.

Pros

Good training opportunities and compensation for the role I perform, and a good spirit within the company. Well positioned to come out of the financial crisis strongly.

Cons

Working for a large company can make it difficult to completely understand the 'big picture' and what's going on, but this is simply part of the package of working for a multinational .

Great benefits. Decent pay. Career growth within company. Paid time off is 3 weeks. 401k match is 6% as long as you contribute 4%.

Cons

Burocracy!! Talk about inability to change quickly. The layers of managment present a good opportunityfor advancement, bu with so many it hinders the abilities of the company. Interview process is long and arduous.
